What no HUD?

Bossxr8 · 10-09-2014, 10:52 PM

All engines are unchanged bar some wiring loom changes.

It kinda does look a little akward, but i think it would of been better if it was up a little higher near the corner of the scalloped out number plate section.

This cannn't be right ? Tezza only tow 1600kg ?? not 2700kg as previous model ????

The top of the range Territory Titanium AWD includes the following features:
Mechanical

Standard engine:

2.7L V6 Common Rail Turbo Diesel engine (at extra cost)
6-speed automatic transmission with sequential sports shift
Optional 1600kg tow pack (at extra cost).

djjase · 10-09-2014, 11:02 PM

so basically same interior with a few small changes like round vents on sides

NEW:

OLD:

FGX:
Front Overhang: 943 mm
Rear Overhang: 1168 mm
Overall Length: 4949 mm

hmm, i just noticed...if thats the case, front and rear overhang difference eqautes to 22mm total shorter, but the overall length is only 21mm difference...does that mean its 1mm longer somewhere in the body

You can only get the 1600 kg towbar factory fitted if you want the 2700 kg it's dealer fit.

I actually think the front of the existing one is better, but I guess once you start to see the new one around it might actually change:

That interior shot belongs to the refreshed Territory, not the FGX Falcon.

Yes true, so it may then look exactly as current model then or does anyone have any actual pics of it?

It's hard to compare a real photo in black to a CGI in white.

yanknbank · 10-09-2014, 11:22 PM

I like the look of the tan seats, but I hope that the door trims and carpet are matched with the seats. Tan seats with the rest of the interior trimmed in black just doesn't look right.

This is the XR8 interior. Not much is different apart from new dash spears, ICC facia colour (& revised button assignments), Sync 2, revised seat coverings and revised instrument cluster details.

LOL, I said the same thing in post 8840.

Yep. Turning your ahead away from what's in front of you Unnecessarily is very safe... Another tit that ignores the benefits of these features as a driver aid.

fgpsi · 11-09-2014, 12:22 AM

I wish it just had the new Tezza's interior.

So much better

A real driver does not need driving aid electronics.... Full stop.

furiousgibbon · 11-09-2014, 01:23 AM

I hope I can pick up a set of the XR8 wheels for the F6 for a decent price, I want some OE 9" rears.

can't believe the XR8 isn't getting the 6/4 Brembo option!

or automatic, or syncro on their manual, or ABS, or power steering, power brakes, good rubber, good suspension, etc.

guess you're not a real driver either....

Pffft listen to it.... No one said let's flash back 5 decades. What u just stated are actual driving aids, not technology introduced that contradicts the test u sit to be able to drive.
Harden up

FGX-302 · 11-09-2014, 03:19 AM

Shame the FGX is the last of its kind... Next we'd be going collision avoidance (smart move if u like the last comment) . Who knows 7/8 speed paddle shift ZF pushed by I/C 5.0 Miami punchin a claimed 400+kW (500 real world) from factory could have been cool too. ;-)

I definitely love the new lights compared to the old but prefer the wider grill on the bottom and smaller on top as in the previous model.

Still like you my opinion may change when I see one in the flesh.

Focused · 11-09-2014, 06:28 AM

Have these photos been posted yet?

mattrobbo26 · 11-09-2014, 06:37 AM

Really liking the look of the g6e going by those cgi's. One classy looking vehicle.

**Polyal** · 11-09-2014, 07:38 AM

Man the XR6T is crying out for some bonnet vents or something.

Seems similar to how the F6 went out with not much love thrown in, the GT soaked it all up.

Falcon_Crazy · 11-09-2014, 08:02 AM

Theres my Ute - Can almost smell that new Falcon smell....

FGX335 · 11-09-2014, 08:18 AM

Apart from the XR8 engine details, which I'm sure will be the GT spec, I'm good to go.

Come on Ford, I'm keen, I have the folding, and I wanna place an order. Let's go already!

I'm thinking that page wasn't meant to go live, because it isn't easily accessible. Might explain the issues with the detail, but it is our biggest insight to date on the specs of the cars.

I haven't seen Smoke in person, can anyone tell me if it looked good on the FG MkII cars at all? It looks good on the XR8 on the front page, but in the Colours section, it looks very blue. Silhouette is no good where I am, due to the amount of dust in the air.

Smoke Pursuit · 11-09-2014, 08:40 AM

Heres my smoke ute.

FGX335 · 11-09-2014, 09:10 AM

Just like I thought, looks better not CGI. Cool, I'll take one of those Ford!
